+    Vixie Cron is a command scheduler with extended syntax over cron.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Roman Veretelnikov discovered that Vixie Cron fails to properly
+    check whether it can drop privileges accordingly if setuid() in
+    do_command.c fails due to a user exceeding assigned resource limits.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    Local users can execute code with root privileges by deliberately
+    exceeding their assigned resource limits and then starting a command
+    through Vixie Cron. This requires resource limits to be in place on the
+    machine.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Vixie Cron users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-process/vixie-cron-4.1-r9"</code>
